Andrea Dunbar documentary - Saturday night

[Selky]

Did anyone else watch this? I found it really upsetting, I had no idea that her eldest daughter had gone to prison for the manslaughter of her son. I thought it would be about her plays and own life only. The detail about her children was horrifying.

do you mean The Arbor? did not know it was on, watched some time ago, not exactly easy viewing but pretty honest I thought

No - it had some excerpts from The Arbor acted in the open air on the Butterworth estate and interviews with her family but lipsynched by actors. (The bloke who was Bob in Rita, Sue and Bob Too portrayed one of her partners the father of her son, Andrew)

was it on 4? might have a look in their player, possibly after Christmas as it is bloody depressing stuff

Yes it was on Channel 4. I need to go back and read the plays now.
